Walk the streets of wartime Amsterdam and trace Anne Frank’s story on this powerful guided walking tour.

Getting started

Meet your guide at the designated point in central Amsterdam, close to the Jewish Quarter. Once the group assembles, your guide will conduct a brief introduction and provide an overview of the tour. No tickets are required for entry, as the tour is entirely outdoors.

What to expect

Jewish Quarter & WWII sites

Explore the Jewish Quarter and key WWII landmarks as your local guide unpacks Amsterdam’s transformation under German occupation from 1940 to 1945. Walk by the Portuguese Synagogue, the Holocaust Memorial, and the former Jewish Council’s headquarters. The tour concludes outside the Anne Frank House, where your guide recounts Anne’s story.

Exploring with a guide

Your expert guide brings history to life with personal stories, historical context, and insight into how Amsterdam became a haven for Jewish communities in the 16th and 17th centuries.

Features:

  • Jewish Quarter: Once a refuge for Jewish immigrants, now a poignant reminder of wartime history.

  • WWII landmarks: Sites connected to resistance efforts and Nazi occupation, like the Portuguese Synagogue and the Hollandsche Schouwburg Museum.

  • Anne Frank House (exterior): Learn about Anne’s time in hiding and her enduring legacy.
